I'm just curious if anyone knows how I can obtain a set of these rims. I'm looking for an online source (website) or someone that can import these. I'm well aware these will cost money, but once again I'm just curious. :bow:

[Touring240]

me too
jookybanana showed these wheels to me months back but i gave up ordering them cus I can't read japanese haha

they come in 4x114.3 in nice widths and offsets too
:coolugh:

[Dousan_PG]

JAPAN

no seroiusly get an importer
touge factory is cool
i'd ask touge factory. they rock

works yamaguchi might be able too as well. they seem really knowledgable and cool as fuck

good luck!

1) works yamaguchi
2) touge factory

konig villians or what ever they are called ahha...

[Touring240]

email sent to touge thanks
I've got a great pic of a comparison of them to the real r34 rims but imagestation isn't working for me right now

[Dousan_PG]

those dont look EXACTLy like the older model did
the first version they released was MUCH closer. i liked those a lot more.

but the new ones are meh. still nice but not as nice

:)

Called them tonight, they said they will ship it to me. I'm going to call them tomarrow and find out how much it is. Would you guys like me to try asking about a group buy?

edit: by "them" i mean Great Company.

[CoasTek240]

wow nice work, i'd be interested...get a price

Go Matto! It's your birthday!! LOL!

I'd be in for a group buy :)
here is the response I got from touge factory for 4 wheels only

Hi, Ian
We can import those wheels for you, but please understand that we dont
usually deal with private companies in small orders.
$380 per wheel for 17
$490 per wheel for 18
This is for Gunmetal. This price includes shipping, taxes, duty fees,
documentation fees,etc from Japan. There will be additioal domestic
shipping fee from our warehouse.
Thanks

[Dousan_PG]

380 per wheel
HAHA
damn that's alot
what a ripoff.

consider this:

$490 times 4 = 1960 dont forget to add their warehouse fee and shipping


for about 300 dollars more, you can have REAL R34 GTR wheels.

think...

[Touring240]

yes but those are 5 bolt and these are available in 4 bolt

[Dousan_PG]

hey if you like getting raped on pricing, more power to you
you see the retail on them?


18" 25,000 Yen=235 USD (non chrome)
17" 20,000 Yen=188 USD (non chrome)

you dont mind paying such a HUGE markup? your paying $200 dollars OVER retail for each wheel! and that's a 'group buy'?

your paying 800 dollars extra. now if i were you, i'd put that money for the wheels in one account, $800 extra you WOULD have spent on the so called 'group buy' towards the 'trip to japan' fund and after a few months buy them in person! and bring them back! not only will you have more fun but you could probably get lucky and score some other sweet car parts

[Touring240]

a trip to japan would be sweet

misunderstanding there those are not group buy pricing just for a set of 4. the price would have to be a lot better for me to order as your right the pricing is very high

[Dousan_PG]

yeah i hope it will be better! that is A LOT to payfor wheels
and they arent 1/2 as nice as they were before the change. the older series (first) was MUCh more similar to the GTRs

but the newer series is nice because more offset choices, which s great.

[SimpleS14]

A group buy would be nice.


Dousan - Do you have a pic of the older model?

[wanganwonder]

at least they look sweet. there's a work logo on the banner at the top of the page . . . how is Great Company associated with work?

[Dousan_PG]

the old model (no longer availalbe) was ...hmm off memory

think real R34 GTR without the center caps

i think maybe had some legal issues? no idea. but its was true knockoff style...sooooo similar haha

the new ones are 'tweaked' of sorts. and i dig the chrome ones. haha

[Ryan of Velocity]

I was actually thinking about brining in a few sets but I wasn't sure if there would be a worthwhile market. May have to do that soon.

[Dousan_PG]

aaah you people should take my advice! as i said, contact works yamaguchi, first on the list! d'oh!!! hahaha

:D

WY is really getting up on my recommendable shop list. you guys seem to know your stuff quite well AND have good taste (most important, imho). I LIKE! :)

[Ryan of Velocity]

Domo dousan.

[gilwankel]

I just saw a set of R34 GTR wheels sell on ebay for about a grand.
